The Black Sea Plain is vast and desolate. It was once the bottom of a sea. The remains and skeletons of countless creatures accumulated here for hundreds of millions of years. Then as the sea water dried up, it formed a gray, black and cracked wasteland. But in this dry land Above, from time to time, hot water vapor mixed with underground sulfur spurts out from the gaps. It rises from the depths of the ground, then mixes with particles in the clouds to form turbid acidic water, and falls as rain.
The acid rain in the sky is enough to corrode steel and melt rocks, but now, in it, there is a black army marching amidst fierce noises.
That's the demon's army.
At the forefront of this army of nearly 10,000 demons are the vanguard of nearly 4,000 or more little demons. These lowest-level demons, which are only half a man tall and covered with black scales, seem to be somewhat similar to small gargoyles at first glance - sharp claws, They have sharp horns and bat-like wings, but they are much weaker than those powerful alchemical creations. This group of little demons pushed forward without any lineup, making annoying noises as they walked. Acid rain flowed along their bodies to the ground, but there was no trace of corrosion, because demons who cannot adapt to the acid would have long ago The worms die just as they hatch.
Immediately afterwards, there was a wild roar, a monster that was more than ten times stronger than the little devil. They had a strong body of about two to three meters, and their swollen muscles and bulging veins seemed to be able to move all over their bodies. The black carapace exploded. This kind of mid-level demon, which is usually called a violent demon, has a pair of incompletely developed wings on its back that look like festering sarcoma. When the wings are fully unfolded, they have advanced to When it comes to high-level wing demons, they are also the protagonists of most demon legends. Many demon warlocks will choose to summon a violent demon with high potential as their initial demon.
This kind of mid-level demon with infinite strength and good at melee combat is the main force of this black army. In addition, there are some scattered twisted demons mixed in, such as the insect demon with multiple jointed limbs like sharp blades. , an acid demon that looks like a mud monster, a beholder that is good at casting spells, and a war beast that is so tall that it is nearly five stories high.
This is probably all the wealth that a demon lord has accumulated over the years. Now, they are marching quickly. The scattered team is forcibly integrated by the winged demons who are officers holding long whips. After their chaotic nature is suppressed by pure violence, , the demon army showed amazing efficiency. They advanced hundreds of kilometers in just a few hours, rushing towards the predetermined assembly point.
But then, they stopped, and even the Winged Demon, who was the overseer, froze in place, instead of lashing those of his kind who were not moving forward with barbed iron whips.
Because the sky is burning,
When the emblem of the hand holding the sword appeared in the sky, almost all the demons in the Black Sea Plains saw this dazzling mark formed by flames. With the support of a force, the golden-red flames maintained their complete form for several seconds. , and then slowly dissipated, large tracts of scattered flames spread towards the surrounding black acidic clouds. In just an instant, most of the sky changed into a burning sea of fire, and thunder and lightning could even be seen spreading in it.
Unlike the low-level demons who had no wisdom at all, after seeing the emblem in the sky, all the middle- and high-level demons fell into shock and confusion. They clearly understood that this emblem was probably that of the alien. The methods used by the Balrog and the Demon-Blooded Dragon to demonstrate their power and demonstrate against all local demonic forces. Such arrogance and arrogance are indeed worthy of the names of the Balrog and the Dragon.
I have to say that although it is cliché, it is indeed very effective. Seeing the sky that has been turned red by the flames and extinguished after a long time, many monsters and wandering demons scattered in the Black Sea Plains are making strange screams. Then they tried to stay away from the direction where the coat of arms appeared. The little demons in the army tried to escape one after another, and the violent demons were also restless. Although they were ferocious and cruel, they did not mean they were stupid. Facing such a powerful Balrog and Giant Dragons, even the local demon lords have to do their best to deal with them, let alone cannon fodder like them.
The demons at the bottom will panic because of the strength of the enemy, but for the controller of this army, the Great Corruption Demon Carlo, the stronger the enemy is, the sooner they should be killed. Originally, they were worried about the Black Sea Plains. Other lords may not take action for this Balrog, but it is different now. Facing this foreign Balrog whose strength may approach the king level, any demon lord will be more vigilant, and then excitedly join forces with other demons to defeat the demon. It kills and eats the opponent's body and soul fragments.
"Act quickly!"
Standing on the special seat of the war terror beast, the huge liquid demon in the center of the army ejected several acid tentacles like jellyfish, and 'swallowed' several violent demons that hesitated and seemed to be planning to escape. After that, Several huge bubbles emerged from Carlo's body, and the low and violent orders spread throughout the entire army as the bubbles exploded. Not long after, the demon team that had stopped due to the Fire Emblem started again, heading towards the pattern. The direction where Zhang appeared moved rapidly.
In addition to their army, there are three other demonic teams of similar numbers that are surrounding the same goal from different angles.
And in the center surrounded by all the demon armies, the running fire demons and black dragons stopped under the instructions of the warriors. The cone-shaped dust mist slowly fell behind them, and the earth-shattering momentum gradually calmed down.
"That's almost enough."
After roughly estimating the time, the warrior nodded slightly. He looked around at the vast desolate plain and said with certainty: "With such a big battle, the demon lords around us will definitely come to attack us as long as they are not blind and deaf."
Each level of the abyss is a different world. The habits and types of demons living in each level are mostly different. Some are cunning and cunning, setting up conspiracies and traps, while others are chaotic and have no order or reason at all. Even gods, It may not be possible to tell how many types of demons there are in the endless abyss, but Joshua can be sure of the habits of the demons in the sixth abyss.
That is a beehive-like behavior pattern.
The sixth abyss, Molten Sea Hell, was one of the main forces of the abyss army that invaded the Mycrof continent in the previous life. Compared to other abyss, which was almost an invasion with no tactics at all, the demons of the sixth abyss They are particularly conspicuous. Although they are also chaotic and have difficulty controlling their instinctive destructive impulses, they can at least form teams and plunder as a group.
With gold, the ultimate demon or demon lord as the queen bee of the control center, and the middle and high-level demon officers as the nerves to issue orders, the chaotic low-level demons can exert a power far beyond their ability to fight alone. In addition, they even have hatching insect demons, a logistics unit that specializes in cultivating low-level demons. The degree of order in this division of labor can be said to be a breath of fresh air among a group of chaotic lunatics.
In the abyss itself, this kind of control is even stronger. The demon lords use their own fortress hives as strongholds to segregate pieces of land and compete with each other to attack. However, when facing powerful outsiders, these lords will temporarily join forces and first attack Uncertain external factors are eliminated.
Joshua didn't know the reason before, but now he understands - most of the demons in the sixth abyss are the products of the mutation of the insect civilization seven thousand years ago. Underneath their twisted and evil appearance, their The essence of life is still somewhat similar to that of the swarming Zerg. In addition, there is an Abyss Lord as the Lord of the Hive in this world. This is why these chaotic demons actually have a certain concept of groups and territories.
At the same time, the Balrog, who had been running wildly for most of the day, with the flames all over his body almost extinguished, limped to the feet of the black dragon. The great demon, who felt tired for the first time since its birth, expressed fear and excitement. The voice asked the soldier: "Your Majesty, are you planning to establish a territory here?"
The Balrog didn't know what the warrior was thinking, but with the devil's simple thinking circuit, it could easily come to such a conclusion - after all, a human brought a Balrog to the abyss, and he provoked the surrounding local demons in such a high-profile manner. Lord, besides wanting to conquer a territory, is there any other possibility? Using this demon as a cover to occupy a territory, His Majesty the King can easily collect all kinds of information in the Sixth Abyss.
As he thought about it, the Balrog couldn't help but nodded at his rare wisdom, and he liked the environment of the Black Sea Plains very much, because under this shallow crust, there were a large number of active magma areas, and all kinds of acid rain contained in it. It also likes toxins. If His Majesty the King wants to use this place as a base, then it will definitely agree.
But to Balrog's dismay, Joshua shook his head.
"Conquer a territory?" Looking down at the black dragon's feet, the big demon asked with some confusion: "Syndicate, why did you come to this conclusion?"
Then, the warrior raised his head and stared at the end of the earth in the distance. He said in a casual but calm tone that shocked the Balrog: "My goal is to eliminate all the demonic forces here, and you are just luring them. Come here for the bait.”
"Okay, Syndicate, look up, they've arrived."
Hearing this, the big demon trembled and slowly turned around. It raised its head and looked into the distance. In the unique thermal vision of the Balrog, wisps of crimson light began to appear at the end of the earth. They were tens of thousands of The demon army, and there are four demon armies of the same size, each with a few huge blazing white light spots - no need to think about it, there is no doubt that they are the golden peaks or the The figure of the ultimate demon lord coming in person.
In the abyss, demons can devour each other to gain strength. A fire demon, its poisonous body will be the delicacy of the corrosive demon, and the strong metal skeleton will be the best body material of the blade demon, even if it is a pure energy core And soul fragments can also greatly improve the essence of another great demon, giving it the potential to try to advance to the king.
In order to preserve the strength of his own world, the sixth-level abyss lord [Guliath the Gluttonous Demon Lord] strictly prohibited the local demon lords from engaging in large-scale internal fighting. A powerful foreign demon was the demon lord who had been hungry for a long time. A rare delicacy.
so much? ! Even a king may not be able to defeat so many demonic armies head-on!
The flames all over the body became dimmer in an instant, and the Syndicate subconsciously took a step back. It was not that it had never fought other great demons before, but unlike the Sixth Abyss, the great demons in other abyss basically fought alone. He would not bring tens of thousands of troops to press the battle. Looking at the sharp claws, tentacles, strong carapace and flesh and blood that were constantly approaching, the Balrog's body began to instinctively want to escape, but then it fell into despair - not to mention It had just accompanied a crazy black dragon on the plains for most of the day, and the energy in its body had been exhausted. More importantly, on that black dragon, stood a legendary warrior!
Run, where can it go? It is also very desperate!
Four different demon armies continued to approach. Accompanied by the heavy footsteps that shook the earth, the four demon lords led their armies to completely surround the warriors. Tens of thousands of ferocious demons stared at their scarlet eyes, frantically Roaring some unclear sentences, after seeing the Balrog and Black Dragon in front of them, they did not pause at all, nor did they negotiate or cooperate with each other. They just followed the cold orders of their lords, with the momentum of a landslide and tsunami. Charge towards the goal!
"Your Majesty - Your Majesty!" Looking at this scene, even the ferocious Balrog couldn't help but panic. It neatly hid under the black dragon who was drawing circles on the ground with its front paws boredly, and used the devil's unique He said in a confused tone, "I can't be the opponent of these demons—"
"Of course you are no match for this."
Standing between the two horns of the black dragon, the warrior lightly stamped his feet, and Black immediately understood what his master meant. He stopped the small movements under his claws, then raised his head high, and let out a sound that shook the atmosphere, far better than the thundering dragon. At the same time, Joshua made a casual move, and the Balrog hiding under the black dragon involuntarily floated out of thin air, floating in front of the warrior as if it had lost gravity.
Looking at the Syndicate in front of him, Joshua smiled slightly. He raised his right hand and slowly clasped it with his five fingers. The body of the Balrog's thick black liquid, which was hot and poisonous, began to tremble violently. This behemoth, which was nearly five meters tall, Amidst the violent friction sound, which was like the twisting of metal, it began to compress and deform rapidly. After a while, the entire body of the Balrog turned into a simple-looking black giant sword.
The blade of this black giant sword was squirming like liquid, with circles of golden-red flames reverberating around it. A painful and twisted demon face was printed on the broad sword body, and continuous messages came from its mouth. A wail of agony.
Randomly, the warrior reached out and grasped it, and the black-red flames swallowed up the entire sword body. The violent and abundant energy poured in, instantly turning the simple black sword into a red flame sword like a fire demon!
"But this way, you can survive."
Demonic whispers came from the painful Balrog's ears. Joshua clenched the hilt of the sword tightly, and suddenly more desperate wails came out.
"Black." He said to his mount, and the flames burned in Joshua's hands. The legendary warrior waved the giant sword in his hand, causing the red flames to create a conspicuous arc in the air. He said with a ferocious smile: "Rush over!"
"Roar!"
Everything in the world can be made into a sword, including grass and trees, tiles and rocks, and even flames and demons.
